I heard some critic say it was the first modern movie to use lighting creatively or some shit once.

It's got a kind of debatable plot hole

>In the beginning, Kane says, "Rosebud." The nurse enters the room after the word is spoken. The shooting script only mentions Kane and the nurse being in the room. However, within the movie itself Raymond the butler tells the reporter that he had heard Kane say "Rosebud" after the fight with Susan as well as just before he drops the snow globe, implying that what the viewer is shown in that scene is from Raymond's P.O.V.

To me, the greatest movie is 2001, but having only seen the entire thing after reading the book I am not so sure that I can say that objectively it is that good as I had a better understanding of the parts of the film that had no dialogue then the typical viewer.

I was somewhat determined at a time in my life to watch the entire AFI top 100 and got about 70 or so films into it I'd say. Most of them aren't very good and are really just praised for innovative story telling or technical achievements.
Some of the comedies from the 30s are gold imo though. Bringing up Baby, Swing Time, Marx Brothers movies, Roman Holiday, The Philadelphia Story etc etc.
Must watches would include: The Apartment, The Network, Ben-Hur, Spartacus, and Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

These are all off of the AFI top 100, but if you refer to this list, there is one film on here, that by no means no man woman or child should ever see. That film is called Nashville. It is the worst movie I have ever seen. Worse than Law Abiding Citizen. I have only encountered it on this list. I have never heard anyone speak of it. Never seen it on a movie buff's shelf, a rental store or library. Just the list, and my Netflix order queue.
It's a stinker, and for no reason.
